Biography
Holger Thullin was born in Trondheim in Denmark-Norway, but became involved in Norwegian politics after Olav V of Norway came to power in the 1790s. A popular republican theorist, he led a coup d'etat that overthrew the monarch Olav VI of Norway in 1800 and had him executed. He respected the status quo and knew how to manage money, and proved to be a good "Stattholder" (President).
